Long Time No Post

My website has finally been restored by Rootsweb, bless their hearts.  The counter on the side bar, where it says "Counter" no longer works and will will be removed.  It a shame to lose the old count but we'll get back there again.  

I have obtained the domain coynegen.com, which can now be used instead of https://sites.rootsweb.com/~coyne2010/.  

The family tree link does work as that section has not been restored yet. I wonder if it ever will or if Ancestry will use it to increase traffic to ancestry.com.

Statcounter has replaced the old counter.  I'll try to get a fancier display.  It's used on the site I code, JCNYGW, Jefferson County New York GenWeb.  They send out a nice weekly analysis of your traffic.

The Joint Patriot Project of marking Revolutionary War graves is marching on.  Swe-kat-si and Nihanawate DAR chapters have finished St. Lawrence county.  T.I. SAR and LeRay de Chaumont DAR are working on Jefferson county.

I attended a 1812 dedication April 22, 2018 at Dexter Cemetery, Dexter, NY and fired my musket for the first time publicly.  Quite warm and no snow, a very nice day.
